We're all adults, and everyone has to ride their own ride. There were no problems up until this point and the rider said she was doing great until this point. She will have to sort out what she did wrong (with help). No one was forced to come along, and while on the ride everyone has the option of bailing out if they so choose. As far as blind hills and turns goes, I don't have the balls to let it rip. I always slow down until I can see what's on the other side. Other riders have skill way beyond mine and they are comfortable with that. If someone comes on a ride and thinks they are obligated to do that, they are an idiot and should of stayed home. This rider was not in that category. Everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully when you're on 2, you can walk away from it and learn. I did something stupid on rt 60 and totaled my bike. I wasn't able to walk away (only because the stupid muscle and flesh on my leg wasn't attached to anything at the moment) but I learned from what happened. Hell...I was the lead bike when it happened! This accident is in no way indicative of OR rides. It was a mistake by a fairly new rider.
